The clutch is made up of 2 plates – the pressure and friction plates. The friction plate is connected to the crankshaft the shaft that is forced to revolve because of the combustion in the engine’s cylinders and in turn creates the vehicle's power. The pressure plate receives the engine's force which is connected to the gearbox through an axle.
By using hydraulic cylinders these two plates can be disengaged while the driver selects a gear up down reverse or neutral then releases the clutch causing the two plates to reconnect and the transfer of power to continue and be fed to the wheels which forces the car backward or forwards dependent on the gears selected
